i enjoyed my education a lot. but i think if you look at my transcript, it doesn't look like a typical wharton or penn student's transcript. i took courses from all different parts of the university. i spent a lot of time trying to design my education. and the thing which was interesting was it was all based on units. so there were just interesting class here, interesting class there. but there's no connection between them. and even though i spent so much time trying to reform the university when i was there and trying to work on my own education, when i graduated i actually realized i wasn't as well prepared as i should have been coming out of an ivy league university for the workplace. >> what did you think you were missing at that point? the ivy league education didn't offer? >> well, i didn't really know what i was missing, but my employer did. i went to work for a consulting firm. and my first six months there, not only for myself, but for all of my colleagues that came from every ivy league school you could

i have a very nontraditional college education. dropped out of college when i was 19, dropped out, kicked out, splitting hairs here. i didn't finish college until i was 30. and i had no demographic characteristics that would've made me remotely interesting to georgetown university. no money, no savings, no healthcare, nothing. i ended up at a place here in new jersey called thomas edison state college, the second biggest in new jersey, it's a correspondence degree. i got my whole degree when i was 30 for $10,000. my whole college degree in $10,000 in today's dollars. i'm not suggesting that georgetown university needs to serve -- let's call me a loser -- you don't have to serve me. but what can georgetown and syracuse and a lot of other great private universities do to serve more people who are underserved? >> sure. sure. >> two points and i want to come back to your experience, but in answer to your direct question. what we've done is built pipelines with schools that are providing opportunity in the fourth quartile. in the lowest

>> education's very fundamental. education is a basic human right. it should be available to everybody like the air we breathe. we offer free courses from some of the best universities in the world like m.i.t., harvard, berkeley. and our approach is that learners can come from anywhere. take these courses, great courses, and you can use them for whatever you want. many learners come to fill the skills gap. we talked earlier about great jobs available in computer science or nursing and other areas. but the skills are here. we need to find a way to match the skills. breaking the skills gap is one area. in other cases, continuing learners are in existing jobs that want better jobs or promotions. we have high school students that don't have great a.p. classes in the high school and want to fill those gaps -- would schools recognize this if you're taking somebody who is in high school? >> recognition comes in different ways. we heard from a lot of students that have gotten better jobs as a result of posting a certificate on linkedin, for example. many sch
